The Ronnie James Dio Bio/Discography

This is an unauthorized Ronnie James Dio bio/discography, written by
me. I started this project in
late 1993 and the first versions of this became available in mid
1994. Various people have helped me with this - without their help,
you wouldn't be reading this now. See the credits for a list of the people who have
helped me with this.

The discographies are based on three Dio collectors' collections as
well as to some advertisements etc. I'd especially like to
give a HUGE thank-you to Thomas Krause, Peter Weber and Matt Baker for their
help! Thank you for being patient with me and my questions
concerning catalog numbers, label differences, matrix numbers,
pictures and so forth. Jorund Rong from Norway has
been a great help with the Rainbow 7" discographies!

The discographies are as complete as possible at the moment, but new
additions will certainly turn up. Also, I'm going to re-design the
sampler discographies as soon as I figure out a sensible way to do
that. I'll try to add pictures to the discographies as soon as
possible.

If you happen to have any Ronnie James Dio recordings not mentioned in
these discographies, please contact me. I'd like to make this
discography complete and to accomplish that, I need your help.
